Apollo Counters

Squishy backline heroes like Sinclair, Silver, and Mina hate playing against someone who can close distance on demand and force a fight they don't want. Apollo dictates the terms of the engagement, and those three would rather sit back and control space than trade blows up close. The trouble comes against Seven, Victor, and Graves, who punish an overextended dive with burst and sustained damage before you can reset. Once you commit and they answer, you're the one caught out of position. Draft tip: pick Apollo into passive, position-dependent lineups, and avoid him when the enemy has heavy burst waiting on your dive.

Apollo wins 50.25% of matches overall (#18 of 38 heroes) since the Matchmaking Update. Its most favorable matchup is Mirage at 55.48%; Graves is the toughest counter, holding Apollo to 43.91%.
